Drinks & Nightlife
very cool gin palace with a london underground aesthetic. Bit pricey and can be crowded, but still a fave of mine if I feel like a gin cocktail mid afternoon (don't judge, people!)

Sightseeing
amazing view. Art aside, it's worth it to go for the free view from the top floor of the museum. The views of the city are 360 and I always take my foreign friends here.

Parks & Nature
very beautiful japanese garden in the middle of the city. After you've strolled the grounds - doesn't take too long - you can have a lovely cup of japanese tea in the middle of it all. All very civilized!
